"I Dream Of Black recalls the
psychedelic-rock splendour of Spiritualized at their peak." - Q Magazine

"He seems to be
in possession of some sort of magic quality music elixir, one that's
capable of stretching out genre boundaries while never losing sight of the
qualities of a good tune... Chalk another one up in his credit column." - Sweeping The Nation

"Largely
experimental, slighly mental, 'I Dream Of Black' may very well be the best
thing Thomas White has ever produced." - Culture Deluxe

"It's
'Will The Moon Ever Rise Again?' that really steals the show - a song as
worthy as any crooner or blue-eyed soul boy. It's simply heartbreaking in
lyrical content and emotional arrangement. Thank heavens Thomas White is a
workaholic, as this solo album is one of the most remarkable albums of the
year..." - Artrocker

THOMAS WHITE

I Dream Of Black is the first solo outing from Thomas White since he made his Mercury-nominated debut as The Electric Soft Parade with brother Alex, recording and touring with ESP and Brakes, and
helping out with Brighton contemporaries Restlesslist and The Pipettes.
Last year saw a critically-acclaimed renaissance with the third
Electric Soft Parade album, No Need To Be Downhearted. I Dream Of Black
is a home crafted dream-scape of whirring synths, psych-guitar and
White's instantly recognizable vocals. Thomas
derived inspiration from myriad different sources including The Dandy
Warhols, RTX, Broadcast, Money Mark, Clearlake and The Wicker Man.
Stand-out tracks include the single "The Runaround", the album's only
love song "Starry Nite #2", the Robert Wyatt-esque "Starry Nite #3" and
epic closer "Wartime Love/Solar Collapse".
